How to Make Delicious Wild Mustang Grape Jelly

by Leave a Comment

Come learn how to pick, cook, and can your own Mustang Grape Jelly. Tangy, sweet, and wild. This grape jelly is gonna knock your socks off!

Wow! That color is amazing!

I’m not typically a grape jelly fan. I’ve mentioned this before. Growing up we mostly only had two kinds of jelly: strawberry and grape. There was nothing exciting about either of those but I definitely preferred the strawberry to the grape any day.

I almost never buy grape jelly as an adult. And now, much to my surprise, grape is the “special” jelly for my kids! I guess because it’s so “rare”.

My oldest, Noah, is especially obsessed with it. He loves to put a dollop on just about anything. Biscuits, muffins, eggs, ham sandwiches, burgers. You name it-he’ll give it a go.

And this wild Mustang Grape Jelly has become a new star in our house. The grape flavor is so intense and tart. I’m gonna follow my son’s footsteps and try it on everything too!

It’s summer. I don’t know why but I thought I would have more time to relax when Summer arrived. Longer days, no homeschool, loosy-goosy schedule. But I feel just as busy- if not more.

I don’t want to spend a lot of time or brain power on dinner time. My husband, Nathan, is naturally gifted with knowing how flavors and spices will go together. He can whip up the tastiest things, seemingly out thin air. And using things I never would have thought to put together.

The lines of the skirt are so pretty in this picture.

This No- Zipper Skirt is beautiful and simple to make. It took me three days to sew but only because my baby is going through a “no nap” phase. There was a lot of little feet on my fabric and loud tumbling and laughing all around.

Look at those little toes! I kept my hand over the pins so he wouldn’t walk on them.

That color is so dreamy!

I am so grateful to live in The United States of America! I love my country and I love to celebrate it! My Mom taught me to respect the flag and to be thankful for our freedom. Thank You to anyone who has served so we all can be free and happy and safe!

One time we were driving to church and my mom stopped the car because she saw that someone’s flag had fallen out of it’s holder. We were in a hurry but she took the time to go pick it up, and knock on the door to hand it back to them. That made an impact on me.

But this year I have a blog and my oldest kid hates those other popsicles. Two very good reasons to come up with some new, easy popsicles that even my kids can make.
